The Bulldogs (5-0) will travel to Itta Bena, Miss. to face
the Delta Devils (1-3, 1-1) on their homecoming Saturday at 2 p.m. The SWAC
eastern division matchup will pit the conference's top passer, Alabama A&M's
Deaunte Mason, and top rusher, Valley's Brandon Stansell, against each other.

A&M has scored at least 38 points in each of its last
three victories against Prairie View, Texas Southern and Grambling.

"He's gotten way better than he was last year," Morgan said
of Mason. "Last year, they were more of a run threat, one-dimensional (team) with (running back Kaderius) Lacey, doing most of the work. This year, they're throwing the
ball around and like I said they're sound on defense and good on
special teams.

"We're going to have to try to find a way to shut it down,
force them into some third and long situations and hopefully we'll be able to
get them off the field," Alabama A&M coach Anthony Jones said. "They're
doing some things a little different and we've got to be ready for it."

Morgan praises A&M

The Bulldogs are ranked behind only Tennessee State in most
black college football polls and have even drawn high praise from their opposition.

"A real good football team," Morgan said of A&M. "Probably
the best team I've seen since I've been here. This is my third season in the conference."

QB Shuffle

As successful as the Delta Devils' rushing offense has been
this season, they've struggled mightily in the passing game. Through four
games, they rank dead last in the conference in passing, having gained 270
yards through the air for an average of 67.5 per game. They've thrown one touchdown all season.

Part of the problem is they just haven't been able to stay
healthy.

Senior starter Garrick Jones went down with an injury in a
20-19 loss to the NAIA's Concordia Selma in the season opener and was replaced
by sophomore Eddie Ivory. But Ivory broke his right thumb, an injury which will
keep him out for the remainder of the season, during a 45-14 loss to
Northwestern St. (La.) in Week 4, forcing Jones back into the lineup early.

"Hopefully, the week off has gotten the shoulder better and
he's ready to go," Morgan said.
